STUDENT INTERN POSITIONS

The Conflict Center offers intern positions that can be individually designed to meet the needs of the student.  We provide adequate, intensive training and support for all positions. 

The Conflict Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to peacemaking, located near the Highlands area, in northwest Denver.  We work with a variety of populations; however, approximately 50% of our work is provided to people in poverty and therefore all internships are unpaid. No relocation monies are provided.

The Conflict Center’s mission is to reduce levels of physical, verbal, and emotional violence in the world by teaching skills in conflict management, anger management, and parenting.  The Conflict Center does not offer any counseling or therapy, but instead teaches skills in classes.
